I recently participated in this study on infant loss. She is still looking for more participants. Please consider, I think her work will help change how the medical community treats us:
BEREAVEMENT STUDY
THE IMPACT OF PERINATAL LOSS ON MOTHERS
A researcher from the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology is conducting a dissertation study to learn about the loss of a singleton, a twin, a triplet, or higher-order multiple and its impact on mothers. The investigator is Louise E. Marasco, MS, clinical psychology PhD graduate student. She is requesting participation from adult mothers who have lost a baby, or more than one baby between the 28th week of pregnancy and the 28th day after birth. This study seeks mothers who have lost a baby in the last 4 years. The hope is that the information that is learned will assist health practitioners in providing comprehensive care for grieving mothers who have lost a multiple while simultaneously caring for a newborn.
If you choose to participate, the researcher will interview you by phone at a time that is convenient. You will be asked to complete several questionnaires about how you are adjusting and coping with the loss of your child. The questions are designed to help us better understand your experiences following the death of your child. Your individual responses will be kept completely confidential. Participation in this study will take approximately 2 hours and will be at no cost to you.
If you are interested in participating in this study please contact:

Thanks for this. Once my life calms down, I may agree to this. Thinking about having two hours to do anything right now is laughable.

I did this, too. Very easy to talk to, and it's cathartic to tell your story :)
